Spills
Since I have 3 kids 7 and under I thought I would share what we do for spills.
David being almost two is the worst. He probably spills about 30 times a day.
We only allow water to drink for the most part. That helps with stains and sticky stuff.
I put a pretty basket on the table and rolled some cloth diapers (they absorb better than towels) and then when we have a spill at the table I don't have to jump up and get a towel. Of course you could also use towels rolled up instead. the first day I did this everyone thought I have rolled up the silverware like they do in the restaurants so it looks nice and neat.
This idea has really saved me a lot of getting up and down at meals.
He also had a habit of getting into the salt and sugar containers that we keep on the table. I put those with the diapers in the basket plus the paper napkins. Yes, we do buy napkins. I haven't convinced hubby that cloth are worth it. Even so we only go through a package about every 3-4 months.

Hope you don't mind the blast from the past (2005!), I'm getting caught up on your blog ;o)
Anyway, I thought I'd let you know that doing the little things (like keeping those towels on the table) have helped me so much. For instance, I used to have a waste can in the kitchen and bathroom... and yet, trash seemed to accumulate in other areas of the house. I started adding trash cans wherever the piles appeared, and soon I had the problem licked!
Oh, and I didn't go out and buy bunches of trash cans... I spray painted my empty kitty litter buckets to match my decor!
Blessing,
Janet
